The Crescent Atoll is a remote string of tropical islands, connected by long canoe journeys and a love of stories. Islanders live in constant contact with gods and monsters, following the rules handed down by their storytellers to survive in harmony with these primal forces. However, when a young ocarina player called Kaimana discovers the lair of a taniwha - a legendary monster - she attracts the ruining gaze of the god of war. In a land of sea witches, pig-faced gods, and Magpie Kings, Kaimana must trust her growing friendship with her taniwha if they are both to survive. Inspired by the myths and legends of South Pacific island cultures, this book is perfect for those seeking a fantasy adventure in an unfamiliar world. To Dream and Die as a Taniwha Girl, book five There is a price to pay for becoming a story. Kaimana has defied the gods and won the freedom to spend the rest of her days travelling the collection of tropical islands she calls home. But the people of the islands have taken notice of her. They have started to tell her story; for many children, one of their favourite fireside tales is now that of the Taniwha Girl, the brave woman who befriends monsters. Some islanders even pray to her. The gods are displeased, but they are not the only ones paying attention to Kaimana’s rise to fame. On the borders of the island ring, an ancient demon - an old enemy of the Crescent Atoll - spreads its influence, and a spider-faced figure shadows Kaimana’s movements. To secure her own safety, and that of her island home, Kaimana has to make a choice: turn her back on the people of the Crescent Atoll and continue enjoying the life she has won for herself, or give up all she holds dear to live up to the legend of the Taniwha Girl.   [CHAPTER] start=0 end=3332.634 title=1 [CHAPTER] start=3332.634 end=3792.165 title=2 [CHAPTER] start=3792.165 end=6689.364 title=3 [CHAPTER] start=6689.364 end=7305.891 title=4 [CHAPTER] start=7305.891 end=9930.137 title=5 [CHAPTER] start=9930.137 end=10298.291 title=6 [CHAPTER] start=10298.291 end=11675.817 title=7 [CHAPTER] start=11675.817 end=12186.992 title=8 [CHAPTER] start=12186.992 end=14526.477 title=9 [CHAPTER] start=14526.477 end=15064.14 title=10 [CHAPTER] start=15064.14 end=17916.879 title=11 [CHAPTER] start=17916.879 end=18241.879 title=12 [CHAPTER] start=18241.879 end=20364.156 title=13 [CHAPTER] start=20364.156 end=20899.076 title=14 [CHAPTER] start=20899.076 end=22888.86 title=15 [CHAPTER] start=22888.86 end=23185.883 title=16 [CHAPTER] start=23185.883 end=25181.649 title=17 [CHAPTER] start=25181.649 end=25729.03 title=18 [CHAPTER] start=25729.03 end=28497.864 title=19 [CHAPTER] start=28497.864 end=28868.892 title=20 [CHAPTER] start=28868.892 end=29029.315 title=21
